Paternity

Paternity Lawyer in Pasadena

What Is Paternity and Why Is It Important?

When a married couple has a child together, the State usually recognizes
the husband as the child's father unless action is taken to prove
otherwise. When an unmarried couple has a child, however, paternity could
be a disputed issue. Since every child deserves to receive support from
both of their parents and to have relationships with each of them, it
is important to take legal action and establish paternity so that your
child is adequately cared for by both of their parents.

How to Establish Paternity

In order to establish paternity in a disputed case, a DNA test will be
taken. This process can take time, but in the end, the State considers
the results of the test as solid evidence of paternity. If you are a father
looking to establish paternity and obtain
child custody or
visitation rights, or if you are a mother looking to establish paternity so that you can pursue
child support, our firm can help. Searching for an attorney for a paternity case in
